Job Description:

Hello, we’re Starling. We built a new kind of bank because we knew technology had the power to help people save, spend and manage their money in a new and transformative way. We’re a fully licensed UK bank with the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company. We’re a bank, but better: fairer, easier to use and designed to demystify money for everyone.

Everyone at Starling gets the chance to own interesting things from day one, and we’re told one of the best things about working here is the ability to achieve a lot in a short space of time.

Our mission is to change banking for good. We can’t do that without our dedicated and passionate employees. Our People team deals with all aspects of our employee journey - talent acquisition, employee onboarding, talent management, total rewards and employee experience and culture. Our People Team is dedicated to finding fantastic people and creating an enjoyable working environment where employees can thrive, grow and develop (plus all the legal/regulatory stuff underpinning that).

Talent Acquisition - a core function of our People team - is responsible for identifying, acquiring, assessing, and hiring the fantastic employees who help make Starling a success.

We are hiring for a Talent Acquisition Partner to support our Banking function here at Starling Bank. As a Talent Acquisition Partner you will work collaboratively with the Banking team and focus on supporting our hiring needs as we continue to execute on our ambitious growth plans.

• Negotiating and influencing is a big part of hiring. You will be able to do both (with candidates and hiring managers alike).
• Evidence of being able to manage and prioritise your own time is essential.
• Attention to detail. It’s the little things that matter; you should be able to demonstrate giving great candidate experience.
• Be data driven and look at ways to ensure we are being proactive with hiring across technology.

• 25 days holiday (plus take your public holiday allowance whenever works best for you).
